Reusing the instance of CKEditor in the Jquery UI Dialog -

first, create instance of ckeditor named 'richeditor' in webpage. second, upon button click making ajax call, returns html data, , showing in jquery ui dialog.then copying html of 'richeditor' instance present in webpage , pasting in div in dialog. reused 'richeditor' instance not work.any button click in editor throwing javascript error , neither textarea nor source text area editable.

any or thought appreciated.

you cannot copy html of editor , reuse it. first of all, dom structure of instance strictly connected js code driving editor (and vice versa). it's deeper plain html. second reason editor use based on iframe, cannot copied preserving content.

in other words: have create instance of editor run somewhere else. please refer official guide , api docs know more ckeditor.replace(), ckeditor.appendto() , ckeditor.destroy().
